I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas time with your families!! :)
Our's was great!!! Being together with the family is still the best part of it.
But let's not forget to beautiful gifts and the yummy...very yummy food!! ;)
Only one more holiday next week,and everything is over again...how time flies!!!

I got some crafting time yesterday.So i made a card for the latest CASE Study Challenge.

Before i'll let you go,i thought i'll share a pic of my two girls that i made on the 25th,right after we had some lunch at our favorite restaurant:
To the left is Emily and to the right is Jamie.Jamie turned 14 on the 26th.My big little girl!! ;)

Almost Christmas...gosh,this month has passed SO quick,unbelievable.This whole year went by SO fast!! Scary.I can't believe that my daughter Jamie will turn 14 on the 26th...makes me feel SO old!! ;)
Well...as longest my girls and all of their friends think that i am one cool Mom,i guess i can live with it!! haha

Ok,on to my card i made for the latest CAS-ual Fridays Challenge.They teamed up for this Challenge with 10 Minute Craft Dash.
I really tried the 10 Minutes...but i couldn't make it!! This card took me somewhat between 20-30 minutes.

We bought our last presents today.Finaly! hehe

Ok,on to my card i would like to show you,that i made for the new CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge.
This time it's a 3 week Challenge,but i of course love the new Sketch and i had some extra time today,so i am very early in participating!: :) Who knows...maybe i'll get to make another one withing these 2 weeks.

I can't believe that Christmas is right aound the corner.What makes it even harder to believe,is,that we have the most beautiful sunshine here,and it's not really cold.Not used to it at this time of the year.
Anywhom...

I would like to welcome you to a new Freshly Made Sketches Challenge!
Our host of today's fabulous Sketch is Amy! You can always make me happy with Banners!! ;)

After i am done with my post here,i'll be going for a nice long walk with my girls.We are having such a beautiful weather,which is pretty unusual for December,so i wanne enjoy the sun,before the snow comes and stays for a while.

Today i am showing you a card i made for the latest retro sketch Challenge.

I have some very exciting news to share!!
Pretty sure,that some of you have allready heard of the new Challenge Blog called The Card Concept,which will start in January 2014?!
The "brain" behind this Blog,is the very sweet and talented Lesley Crogan!
I was very happy and honored,when Lesley asked me if i'de like to join the Design Team!! :)

12 Designers will be showcasing 6 different styles for every Challenge! You can read more about the idea behind it HERE!
Me and the super talented Karen Davis will be representing the Freestyle Collage Style:

Definition:

unrelated elements in a collection

can be done in any style

use of embellishments

use of texture

eye-catching and pleasing

Lesley has asked us to show a card we made that showcases our style,so here is a card i made a few weeks ago for the retro sketch challenge.I love to use embellishments,Pattern Papers,Dies,Stamps,just everything...so i'de say this Style fits me pretty good! :)

Today,i am very happy and honored to be this weeks Guest Designer over at CAS(E) this Sketch!!
I love this Blog!! Awesome Sketches and a great Design Team! :)
I participate in their Challenges whenever i can!! Which means,i think...every week!! haha
Not going to make this a long one,still battling a cold.

I got the Love Hearts Stamps and Dies from Clearly Besotted almsot 2 weeks ago,and after i saw the Sketch,i knew right away i would use this Set.I used clear embossing powder on the 2 bottom Hearts and Ranger Pearl embossing powder on the top one.Looks so pretty in person!!

I made a card for the latest CASE Study Challenge.
Their new Muse is Cath from Moxie Fab World,gotta love her!!! I was so happy to see her as the new Muse!

My card...well...right when i was totaly into designing my card,i realized that it looks a little similar to a card i made last week,i mean with the diagonal stripes on the left corner.Guess i loved the design of the other card so much,that i automaticly used it again! ;) :D
But after glueing on the glitter,i didn't feel like starting over again! My desk and myself looked like a sparkling Christmas tree!! haha
It made me realize again,why i hardly use loose glitter anymore,besides Ranger's Distress Glitter.

December 6, 2013

Yeah...it's Friday!!! :)
Wishing you all a happy day!!
I did my last shopping for the Christmas cookies we are going to make this weekend! It's one of my favorite parts during the Winter/Christmas time!! I love to bake and Christmas cookies are my favs! :)

Ok,i would like to show you a card i made for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog.
This week it's "Make your own Background".It's says No pattern papers unless they are altered.
Well...i did use papers,and i hope it counts the way i used them. ;)

For my background i stamped My Creative Time's Hexy Background in black and used her Stitched Hexy Dies.I love that when you cut the papers with the dies ( comes with 3 dies ),they fit right into the hexagons from the background stamp,at least the middle and the smaller die!!

Almost friday!! I am ready for the weekend,i guess like everyone else! ;)
This weekend it's Christmas Cookie baking time!! Yumm! :D
I am still searching for new recipies.The last few years,i have always baked the same ones,because i know that everyone likes them.But it's getting a little boring over the years! ;)

Today,i would like to show you a card i made for the CASology Challenge.

I really need to use my Ribbon more often.I used to love it so much and now it's getting all dusty here.
The gray leaves may seem a little unrealistic,but i was so inspired by the paper,so i wanted it to match!

December 4, 2013

For the next 4 month i will be Guest Designing for Freshly Made Sketches!!!!!!! :)
I was so happy when i was asked if i'de like to join for the next 4 month! Of course i said YES...because i just love their Sketches and the girls from the Team are all so sweet and very talented!!
I hope my cards will inspire you and i would love to see my sweet Blog followers and Sketch lovers to come and join us every Wednesday!!

December 2, 2013

Happy Monday! :) I hope everyone had a great weekend!! I just wished it wouldn't always end so quick! ;)
This will be a quick one,it's almost 10pm over here,and i am getting a little tired here,but i still wanted to upload a card first that i made for the CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge.
